About this home

Welcome to one of Winston-Salem’s most historically significant residences. The Shaffner House remains a rare example of French Second Empire architecture & has long been recognized as a landmark property in Old Salem. Situated in one of the most picturesque historic districts on the East Coast, the home has been meticulously restored while preserving extraordinary original details. Highlights include stunning light-filled kitchen overlooking remastered formal gardens, new copper roof, updated baths, wine cellar and separate guest apartment. Referred to locally as the “Mansion on Main Street,” the residence showcases remarkable craftsmanship & historic character. Dramatic three-story curved staircase, stained glass, custom corbels, wainscoting, hardwood floors, 7 fireplaces, & soaring ceilings create an unparalleled sense of grandeur. This extraordinary property offers a rare opportunity to own & preserve an important piece of North Carolina history. Tax bill reflects historic credit.
